If he is so brilliant, why are his parents worried about a possible charge of treason resulting in the death penalty? He is referred to as a teen but I would point out that he is elder to many of our soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen. Choices in life matter. He has made bad choices, abetted by a liberal upbringing. Now he reaps the consequences at an early age. I sympathise as a parent and vilify his actions as a patriot. He merits hanging.

Well, he's 20 now, and that's older than the usual US army recruits. I hate it when the press talks about him like he's a kid. But that makes his lawyer happy.

Just going from the story:

-He ended up as a soldier for another country which at the time was not an enemy of the U.S.
-When war with the U.S. started, he deserted the army of the enemy of the U.S.

Where's the treason?
